Will the new 2013 BX25D seat install on a new 2013 B2920?

[JOHNTHOMAS]

Since I am on the fence about trading my BX 25 for a B2650 I would like to know why you made the switch? I posted on the BX 25 mod thread a question about the true lifting capacity of the BX 25 three point hitch as I want to get a turf plugger that weighs 650 lbs and the listed spec for the BX 25 three point hitch is 670lbs . I'm afraid I would be too close to the max and possibly do damage to the hydraulics of the BX. The B2650 three point is rated at 1650 lbs. A negative of the B2650 is that with its cab it negates me using the high pressure wand on my sprayer. Everything is a trade off. I'm sorry for diverting the threat but am very interested as to why you traded up John

Had the BX25 and was pleased with it since I didn't have the ground clearance issue now after years of taming my hillside, gullied, rocky treed lot. I had bought a B2320 geared just for 3ph work with no FEL since BX25 had one. Hated the gear drive so bad that I wanted rid of it. Period. So came up with the big idea of trading in the BX25 and B2320 to get a B2620 HST FEL BH. Did it. The BH on the B2620 is stronger than the one on the BX25 which worked well for me but the one on the B will swing the tractor around which I'm adapting to. I still use the one remaining tractor at flat rental property and some on hillside residential property. Felt more secure on the hillside with the BX25.
If I needed the ground clearance and still had bigger projects I'd prefer the B but most of what I now do is maintaining and planting, moving trees, grasses, shrubs, move some rocks and transfer some dirt from one side of property to the other.
I'm also digging some septic lines at the rental property and do prefer the B BH for that since it is such a strong digger and deeper.
Your reason of taxing the 3ph, maybe, I'd get the implement first and see how it works on the BX25, if that's your only reason for trading. I wouldn't worry about straining or taxing the hyd system. It will either lift it or it won't and I personally don't believe it will damage it by using it to its maximum and they will usually go a bit beyond their advertised maximum.
If your just ready to trade or want/need the higher ground clearance then the B is a fine machine. I've owned a B7800, B3200, B2320 and now a B2620 and several BXs and they are all fine machines and I've found none any better than the other. Just different size for different jobs. The BX will usually do almost all the Bs will do but being subcompact vs compact the bigger size will usually do the job faster unless bigger is more difficult to manuver in the given space plus ground clearance is usually the biggest factor of going for B instead of BX and in my opinion acres isn't a major factor between those two.

Thanks for the great reply. I'm ordering the turf plugger and will try it on the BX first

There's wiggle rood for sure. I adapted an ice resurfacer to a BX1800 a few years ago. The resurfacer was over 1200lbs. Had to add some extra front weights but it did lift it no problem. It didn't lift it when the water was added so that's when the mod started to help it lift. Yup. There's wiggle room. :thumbsup:
